Rebeca Rodrigues de Andrade (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁeˈbɛkɐ ʁoˈdɾiɡis dʒi ɐ̃ˈdɾadʒi]; born 8 May 1999)[1] is a Brazilian artistic gymnast.

After her third ACL tear in 2019, Andrade represented Brazil at the 2020 Summer Olympics and at the 2021 World Championships, where she won the vault gold medal at both events.

[13][14] She also competed at the Brazil Trophy, a domestic competition for both juniors and seniors, where she edged out Olympians including Jade Barbosa and Daniele Hypólito to claim the all-around title.

[20] She later competed at the Junior Pan American Championships in Aracaju where she helped team Brazil win the silver medal behind Canada.

[21] Individually, she won the silver in the all-around and on floor exercise both behind Flávia Saraiva and the gold on vault, uneven bars, and balance beam.

She recovered from her toe injury and made her senior international debut at the Ljubljana World Cup, where she won the bronze medal on the uneven bars behind Isabela Onyshko and Jonna Adlerteg.

[26] She then went to the São Paulo World Cup and won the silver medal on vault behind Deng Yalan; she placed seventh on the uneven bars.

[30] In June, Andrade tore her ACL which caused her to miss her most important competitions of the season – the Pan American Games and the World Championships.

[37][38] Individually, she qualified for the uneven bars final, where she won the bronze medal behind Germans Elisabeth Seitz and Sophie Scheder.

[41] She then went to the Anadia World Cup where she won two silver medals on balance beam and floor exercise, both behind teammate Saraiva.

[44] After the Anadia World Cup, Andrade was named to represent Brazil at the 2016 Summer Olympics alongside Jade Barbosa, Daniele Hypólito, Lorrane Oliveira, and Flavia Saraiva.

[45] Her final competition in preparation for the Olympics was a friendly meet in the Netherlands on 10 July where she tied with Dutch gymnast Eythora Thorsdottir for the gold medal in the all-around.

She qualified individually to the all-around final in third place with a total score of 58.732 behind American gymnasts Simone Biles and Aly Raisman.

[60] She was then named to the Brazilian team for the 2018 World Championships alongside Jade Barbosa, Thais Fidelis, Lorrane Oliveira, and Flavia Saraiva.

Andrade made her World Championships debut and competed on the vault, uneven bars, and balance beam, and Brazil qualified for the team final in fifth place.

She returned to competition at the Baku World Cup, where she finished third on uneven bars behind Fan Yilin and Anastasia Ilyankova and second on balance beam behind Urara Ashikawa during qualifications and therefore qualified to the event finals.

The Brazilian team of Andrade, Christal Bezerra, Ana Luiza Lima, Lorrane Oliveira, and Júlia Soares won the gold medal.

[85] In the vault final, she won the gold medal with an average score of 14.966, nearly a full point ahead of silver medalist Asia D'Amato.

[108] On the first day of event finals Andrade won gold on vault ahead of Biles after the latter fell on her eponymous skill.

During qualification (which also served as the team final) she competed on vault, uneven bars, and balance beam towards Brazil's second place finish.

During the floor final medal ceremony, Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowed to Andrade as she walked onto the podium, a gesture that went viral.

[120] Andrade's collective six medals from the 2020 and 2024 Olympics make her the most decorated Brazilian Olympian in any discipline, a record previously held by sailors Robert Scheidt and Torben Grael.
